Dance Your Fingers Up

Dance your fingers up, dance your fingers down
Dance them to the side and dance them all around.
Dance them on your shoulders, dance them on your head.
Dance them on your tummy, and put them all to bed!

Here is the Beehive

Here is the beehive, where are the bees?
(clench fist and bring out fingers quickly one by one)
Hidden away were nobody sees.
Watch and you will see them come out of their hives.
One, two, three, four, five,
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
(tickle child)

Two Little Black Birds

Two little black birds,
Sitting on the hill.
(hold up one finger of each hand)
One named Jack,
And one named Jill.
Fly away Jack!
(put a hand behind your back)
Fly away, Jill!
(put the other hand behind you back)
Come back, Jack!
(bring the first hand from behind your back)
Come back, Jill!
(bring the second hand from behind your back)

Two Little Toes

Two little toes go tap, tap, tap,
(tap feet)
Two little hands go clap, clap, clap.
(clap hands)
A quick little leap up from my chair,
(stand up quickly)
Two little arms reach high in the air.
(stretch arms high)
Two little fists go thump, thump, thump.
(pound fists)
Two little feet go jump, jump, jump,
(jump)
One little child spins around,
(twirl around)
And one little child sits quietly down.
(sit down)

Tea Time

Here’s a cup

And here’s a cup

And here’s a pot of tea.

Pour a cup

And pour a cup

And have a drink with me.
